Great question. If you ask it for an API endpoint that is described online but isn't well documented publicly, it seems to default back to what it thinks you should do. For example, in one example, it hallucinates that you need a bearer token.

I don't know whether that is because that is a common way of doing things or whether a previous prompt responded with a bearer token... But it wasn't right.

For me, it's a leaping off point that often saves time if I ask the right question. To your point, you have to be quick to know enough about the API to deduce whether you and Chat GPT are in the same universe.
